PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

The heart has reasons that reason does
not understand.
Means are always in our power; ends
very seldom so.
Make children love you if you wish
them to obey you.:
Every day brings with 1t some op.
portunity to do good:
Sow good services; sweet remembran-
ces will growsfrom them. (
Lamentation without effort, betraya
weakness and wickedncss.
Purposes, like eggs, unless they be
Matched into action, will run into decay.
Commerce defies every wind, outrides
every tempest and invades every zone.
Don't seem to be on the lookout for
crows, else you'll set other people watch
ing.
If good people would but made good
ness agreeable, md smile instead of
frowning in their virtue, how many
would they gain to the good causel
Consume little time in regret. Tho
best repentance is reformation. What
tears Of contrition are powerless to,
effect IAN altered life easily accom-,
plishes.
This life Is but the beginning of a life
that Is to be broader. better, longer and
far more pleasurable than this; life
where happiness Is secured by being
good continually.
Children have fulluse of their eyes and
ears before their tongues have mastered
languages, and, consequently, are learn
ng lessons of good or evil sooner than
many suppose.
Grit is the grain ofcharacter. It tmay
generally be described as heroism ma.
erialized, spirit and viii thrust into
lcart, brain and backbone, 80 as to;
orm part Of the physical substance Of
he man. -.
The path of truth is as straight as an
rrow. 1t never swefves to the right or

DIet for Athletes.

A less restricted diet in athletic train
ing is being favored in England. and
instead of the large proportion OF meat
formerly rigidly insisted on, physiolo-
ei,ts now consider variety OF food

mitted to cat fish, pudding and dessert,

CORRECT HISTORY,

There Is an alarming amount Of mis-
| information In the world that passes for
current or rather counterfeit history.
A Malvern writer to the Minerva News
speaks Of "Henry Clay Dean having ad.
dressed q Democratic meeting In Car.
rolltOn In 1884" In which he upheld
the Confederate cause as Just and right,
denounced the administration Of Lin
coin as tyrannical," and said "the ex-
Derience of war to save the Union was a
failure" etc. The Democrats of Carroll
county had no paper at that time to
write up the truth concerning the
Schaefer- Dean meeting, and the dis
graceful conduct Of nalt.dozen or 80
Republican m0bbites who broke up the
meeting. A few Republican leaders,
ashamed of the affair, have given ont
verbal and published accounts of their
mob, wholly and totally false III every
word and In every implication, and the
further away they get from the meet
ing the more they have falsifed 1t. This
they all know better than we can tell
them.
1t is now twenty one years since the
Republicans of CsrrOlltOn distinguished
themselves In that performance, and
while it may be prOfitless to dwell on
the past, it is time for them to either
tell the truth or remain silent.
The meeting was held In 1865 and not
at q time the News writer indicates. Mr..
Dean did not speak, hence any language
attributed to him ls necessarily false.
Louis SChaefer had commenced the
speaking, and while referring to the ear
lier history Of the Democratic party
which Is the history Of our ccuntry--Te
ferriDg not to the war nor abusing any
party or set Of men, he having only
talked about ten minutes-he was con-
tinuOusly interrupted by few senseless
blackguRrds-one especially who cried
aloud you're q id liar" in reply to q
statement he afterward said be did not
understand because "SChRefer was too
DUTCH" Mr.. s. was shocked by such un-
courteous and bOOrish treatment, for he
is always the hOspitable and polished
gentleman, and ceased speaking and
Tho speskers and their friends retired.
NeIthtr il 1t true that "Old sO!diers'
disturbed the meeting. 1t was low
grade of hOmeguaTd drunken black
guards and their leader has been so
Orgly punished that his situation will
excite the pity even of those whom he
would de plse. 1t is worthy OF remark
that Que veteran soldier who was never
satisfied with bis conduct that day, af
terward made amends by casting his
fortunes with the Democratic party
We Invite our Republican friends to
eease falsifying history for tha sake Of
their party; and to realize once for all
time, that 1t Is time for them to quit
moObing their opponents, and publish
ing to the world their tendency to pO-
iitical intolerance and ruffisnism.-

James A. SaxtOn died yesterday after

Mr.. SRxtOn was born In Canton, anO

Mr.. SaXtOn had always been an active
business man. He was the first TO open
a book store in Canton. Alter running

From this he went TO banking, IL which
he continued number of years. Fol
the last fifteen years his time has beer

He was q man Of decided opinions,

A GOOD OUTLOOK.
A Glance At the Plow shops and Chieftain
Hay Rake Works


Hay Rake Works.
The present outlook for Canton Is OK
ceediDgly fatteTiDg. The business done
by the manufacturing establishments Is
everywhere reported as at the very least
One-third larger than at this time last
year, and Rs consequence the sh0p6 are
crowded to their utmost capacity. In
many instances the men are doing night
work, thus increasing the capacity Of
the works.
Malleable Iron Works and steel mills
are reported running to their full Ca
Dacity in every part Of the country, yet
many manufacturing establishments
have difficulty In obtaining q sufficient
supply of malIeable iron and steel
promptly, In order to meet the increased
demand for goods. This fact bet0kens a
healthy business revival and an increAs-
ed exchange Of commodities, which lS
the surest indication Of prosperous
times.
The different pl0W manufactures OF
Canton were visited by DEMOCRAT re-
porter, and everywhere was found bus
lie and activity, and all the shops said
they were unable to fill their orders.
BUCher, Gibbs & Company are employ
ing one hundred and twenty-five men,
who are all working double turn, and
are making one hundred and twenty
five plOws per day, In addition to sulky
plOws and large amount OF repair
work. This plant was established
twenty-five years ago, and their goods
are In demand in all parts Of the C0un'
try.
The Gibbs & Ball PlOw Company has
been established number of years, but
the implements manufactured never
reached such great excellence until the
| present management took things In
hand, and perfectly remOdeled the plOw,
so that now 1t 10 everywhere giving s6t'
isfactiOD, and orders are pouring in
making the capacity for producing In
sufficient to supply the ever increasing
| demand.
The Universal PlOw Company first
began manufacturing In 1884 and is
DOw turning out twenty. five plOWs pei
day, employing thirty men. They are
unable to fill One-hslf their orders, and
Rs a consequence are crOwding their
works to the utmost capacity and utiliz.
ing all available time and space.
The Cbieftain Hay Rake Company was
slsO visited and every department was
found running full blast. Rahes were
seen being prepared for shipment to all
parts OF the Union. The principal trade
Is In the Middle and Western States.
From these indications 1t would ap-
pear that the wheels Of industry In Can
ton are moving along steadily and as
though the country generally was en-
jOying prosperous times. Under such
conditions the majority CT people will
find steady employment and every line
of industry be thereby benfltted.

IT seems the new postmaster at New
Philadelphia is not our old editorial
friend, Charles H. Mathews, as we had
hOpPd. Mr.. Mathews has done long and
faiti fpl service as Democratic editor,
tut that does not always count, 1t seems.
We dia not know but in his case, how
ever, service in the army might have
have counted, but even that did not
seem to weigh enough to win. In Major
Mathews's case the excuse cannot be the
charge Of "dIslOyalty" during the war.
This might apply and weigh with some
against Democratic editor who would
not howl with the wolves, and say that
black was white and wrong was right.
In some cases 1t took as much courage
to remain out as to go In, or more possi-
bly,. No doubt our old friend takes the
matter coolly, knowing the uncertainty
attending human contingencies, and
also knowing the golden opportunities
afforded editors to remember and COM
pliment their friends. Never say die.
